(11,546 posts)whether or not we like it, there are some on the right who may be influenced by what the Dem candidates have to say. Some are sick of the crazy Right and are looking for something else. My sister is one of them. She has been a true Repub for years but cannot stand the candidates now. She is not a racist or completely stupid so she knows that she has to look elsewhere. She asked me a couple of days ago about Bernie and if I truly trust him. I told her that I do. She is seriously thinking about voting for him because she wants a "good person" as a President. She actually thinks that Obama is a "good person" and likes him much better than any Repubs out there.
Not ALL of them are slimy, right wing filth.
BUT - here's the kicker. She still watches Fox. Not much, but when they turn on the "news" in their house, it's Fox. So for the Dem candidates to go on there, although I personally can understand how yucky that must be for them, I actually think it's a good thing because of people like my sister.
